Screenings
In 1947, London was a hub of radical anticolonial activity. International intellectuals, artists and activists like Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Sylvia Wynter, C.L.R. James, Kwame Nkrumah and George Padmore were all in London at the eve of the end of British colonialism. Individually, they were agitating for their respective countries’ national independence, but did they meet? And if they all did, what did they discuss? What did they conjure?
Directors Spotlight

One of their eyes is faced forward and the other is almost closed, and they have a serious expression.](https://wp.blackstarfest.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Experimental_ARadicalDuet__Headshot_Onyeka-Igwe-e1719974955734-278x278.jpg)
Onyeka Igwe
Director
Onyeka Igwe is a London born, and based, moving image artist and researcher. Her work is aimed at the question: how do we live together? Not to provide a rigid answer as such, but to pull apart the nuances of mutuality, co-existence and multiplicity. Onyeka’s practice figures sensorial, spatial and counter-hegemonic ways of knowing as central to that task. For her, the body, archives and narratives both oral and textual act as a mode of enquiry that makes possible the exposition of overlooked histories.
